Day Of Big Endorsements

The Indiana campaign of Sen. BarackObama scores a big endorsement in former U.S. Rep. Lee Hamilton (D). This is a bit of a surprise as Hamilton has been closely allied with the Evan Bayh crowd in charge of the party's political machinery, which is backing Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign. Former Gov. Joe Kernan announces his support for Democrat Jim Schellinger for governor. The South Bend native could help Schellinger in the northern Indiana region, which currently belongs to former U.S. Rep. Jill Long Thompson.

Obama's campaign brings star power to his Indiana campaign. Dave Matthews is performing a concert at IU's Assembly Hall on Sunday, April 6 at 7:00 p.m. for Obama's campaign. Actor Jeremy Piven made several appearances today at college campuses across the state on behalf of Obama and is scheduled to make more tomorrow.

Former President Bill Clinton made a series of four appearances across southern Indiana today on behalf of his wife's campaign. This is his third entry into the state in as many weeks. Obama is scheduled to be in Muncie on Friday for his second appearance. [Update: Make that Ft. Wayne where the event has been moved because of logistical issues. The Muncie visit will be rescheduled for next week]. Ethel Kennedy is making appearances for Obama in Fishers and Indianapolis on Friday and in South Bend on Saturday.
